Argy & Omnya - Aria

One of the hottest IDs of the summer dropped on Friday, courtesy of Argy and Omnya on Tale of Us' imprint, Afterlife Records. The choir-esque vocal sample is so hypnotising, and the overall production builds in the most euphoric and captivating way. No surprise it's already #1 on the Beatport Melodic chart... can see this becoming Afterlife's biggest release to date.

Cleo Sol - Airplane

Cleo Sol and Inflo continue their ridiculous run of music with Cleo's new album 'Heaven', which dropped last week. The album as a whole feels quite different to both 'Mother' and 'Rose In The Dark', but still retains that etheral feel through Cleo's unique delivery, which has made her one of the UK's most loved artists in recent years. 'Airplane' is my favourite song from the album and has quickly become one of my songs of the year so far.

Kano & Giggs - 3 Wheel-Ups (bullet tooth Bootleg)

Mysterious producer bullet tooth has been making a bit of a name for himself over the past few months, releasing a string of killer bootlegs on Soundcloud, which have been getting some serious support from a wide variety of DJs in the scene. This edit of '3 Wheel-Ups' by Kano & Giggs was my standout of the series... genuinely can't stop listening to it. Excited to hear his original music.

Neumonic - Movin'

Once every so often, you come across a producer who just really impresses you. Santa Cruz based Neumonic is that person for me right now. Having discovered his music through his next level Eminem edit (see below) that Ricardo Villalobos has been rinsing all summer, I've become obsessed with his Soundcloud, loving his productions, edits and just his overall music taste. This new one is called 'Movin' and is taken from a 42-track compilation on ShadowTrix Music - the track is so well-produced, seamlessly moving through elements of dubstep, breakbeat, garage and bassline. Can't wait to see how his journey progresses, and I'll be coming along for the ride.

Frits Wentink - Intentions

When you see Frits Wentink and WOLF Music next to each other, you know it's going to be good. Dutch producer Frits has been releasing quality house music for over 10 years now and we've always been a huge supporter of him on The House of Coxhead. Love the whole EP, but 'Intentions' is definitely the one standing out to me... vocal sample is top tier.

Gerd - Envision

A stunning new track from Gerd's new EP 'Kosmos Tour', which is forthcoming on Frame of Mind, a sister label of his legendary 4Lux imprint.

This Dutch master has been one of house music's unsung heroes since the early 90s, under many aliases, and it still churning out great music in 2023. The whole EP is worth checking out, but this was a standout for me - classic Gerd vibes, twisting and grooving!

ADAM TEN & MAORI - SPRING GIRL

Adam Ten & Maori's latest release 'Spring Girl' on Diplo's Higher Ground is a current favourite. 

The vocal's subtly unclear lyrics hit rhythmically over the producers' unique & constant changing percussion. If you listen to more of Adam's tracks, his drums are definitely what immediately grab you. Something we appreciate in the peak of disposable track copycat bedroom producer era.

Jungle - Us Against The World

Jungle never miss. We are four albums into the Jungle project, and the level of quality is frightening. I remember watching them for the first time ever at their gig at Oval Space back in 2014... to see their journey since then has been quite incredible. Amazing songwriters, amazing producers. They deserve all of the success they're seeing. This the opening track on the latest album, and I love it so much.

Jalen Ngonda - Come Around And Love Me

Without a doubt, my favourite new discovery of 2023. Josh Milan sent this to Louie Vega, who in turn sent it to me. Since then, I haven't stopped talking about Jalen to everyone I've come across. His music sounds like it's from another time, giving off serious Marvin Gaye vibes, all while remaining to sound fresh and exciting. Jalen is the truth... and then some.

James Blake - I Want You To Know

Wow... just finished my first listen of the James Blake album 'Playing Robots In Heaven', which is probably going to take a few more listens and some time to sink in just how good it really is. There are many highlights and the entire body of work is an incredible listen, but a standout track was 'I Want You To Know', which is an ethereal, classic James Blake flip of the classic 'Beautiful' by Snoop Dogg, Pharrell and Charlie Wilson. I very rarely throw the word genius out into the world... but having followed James' career since the very start and having had the pleasure to get to know him, it's the only world that really does his work justice. Must listen.
